Dahlia ‘Edinburgh’
Bold and dramatic, Dahlia ‘Edinburgh’ is a show-stopping variety that brings instant flair to summer borders. Its large, double blooms of rich purple petals tipped in pure white create a striking two-tone effect that draws the eye from across the garden. Each flower is beautifully formed, with layers of quilled petals giving depth and texture — perfect for cutting or adding impact to mixed plantings.
This dependable dahlia thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. It enjoys regular watering during the growing season and rewards consistent feeding with vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Pinch out early shoots to encourage bushiness, and remove spent flowers to extend the flowering period. Dahlia ‘Edinburgh’ is ideal for beds, borders and large containers, and makes an exceptional cut flower for the home.
In South Africa’s mild regions, tubers can be left in the ground through winter if well-drained. In colder or wetter areas, lift and store them once the foliage has died back.
